This is the original film of the fireplace loop with Christmas music playing to it. It was filmed in 1966 and played every year on New York's WPIX until 1989. However, the original loop that was filmed in 1966 was last broadcast 1969 because the film was worn out. It was re-filmed in 1970, and that's the version that played for the rest of the reruns.
Well, in 2016, while searching through old WPIX film collections for old footage of Donald Trump, Rolando Pujol discovered the original 1966 version on 16mm film. It was restored and broadcast that Christmas Eve for one hour, followed by Midnight Mass at St. Ptrick's Cathedral, then again on Christmas day, followed by a four hour presentation of the 1970 version. Someone on Myspleen said they'd record and upload both versions of the log, but that still hasn't happened. Anyone possibly have this? I'm not in New York, otherwise I would have done it myself.
UPDATE: It will also be broadcast this year, plus streaming live on PIX11.com and Facebook Live, Christmas Eve from 6 to 7 pm, and clips will be available for repeat viewing via PIX11's channel on Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV Stick andAndroid TV. If anyone can record from these, that's good too.
